Tips for Friday, May 20

What a patronizing puppet is Andrew Bolt in his editorial or eulogy to Ricky Muir. He not only talks about Muir as if he was the mongrel dog that turned out ok but he talks down to his audience yes that audience of conservatives he pretends to respect.

Bolt says he doesn't know of any politicians that would sacrifice themselves for a principle. It's largely because he's blinkered and suffers from tunnel vision. Not even his favorite Australian would do that.

Well let me tell you who did and you will never hear this from Andrew Bolt When the Tunisian people demanded that women's rights equal to men was written into their constitution the Fundamentalist Government lost their vote dramatically in the parliament so much so there was only 4 votes against the proposal. The President realising he was not the voice of the people yet a fundamentalist in his beliefs voluntarily resigned. This is what Bolt claims would never be seen to happen in an Islamic country. It's strange Tunisians know more about our culture than we know about theirs why? Because people like Bolt are not only ethnocentric but also believe their culture is the top of the global food chain. It just makes Bolt seem such an ignorant in comparison to those that can think in terms of "we" instead of "me"

On The Bolt Report and radio tonight

The Bolt Report

" Plus Rowan Dean on Culture War, and Rita Panahi on the panel with Labor’s Kimberley Kitching."

Don't you sense that Kitching who Bolt called Kitchen the last time telling us she was a guest on his show was only invited to the panel because he has a limited range of choices. Not really it appears he doesn't like the attention paid to their relationship in 2014 that makes him seem so blase but obligated. News Corp's Andrew Bolt aids and abets his friend Kimberley Kitching ...

During hubby's attempt to evade justice in Costa Rica, Dim Ditching sought solace in the arms of:

And today's guest with no credibility is- Kimberley Kitching – My blog

What an interesting and extended intro he gives Rowan Dean editor of the Spectator who Andrew runs ads for and Rita Panahi whose parents fled Iran's right wing religious and fundamentalist government only to see their daughter become a right wing secular commentator for Murdoch like Bolt. Bolt's parents fled their fascist home town Aalesmeer in shame only to raise a fascist son here. These refugees weren't screened carefully enough given the hatred their children show for this country.

McCrann: three more years up the creek, and now no paddle

Scrotum face McCrann should not talk about himself like that it's self depracating and unedifying oh, it's Andrew Bolt talking about him it's his banner sorry Terry. "Scott Morrison’s ... Budget also revealed three particular “milestones”. Spending, receipts and gross debt all go past $500 billion, and counting." Who raised the debt ceiling and immediately started spending Abbott and Hockey. What would have occurred if that hadn't of happened. Should we go back to see McCrann's comments when that happened? It seemed the thought it necessary because of Labbour's blow out deficit. The one Hockey increased by $8.8 billion by giving money to the Reserve Bank money they didn't want to make the deficit look worse than it actually was.

David Feeney’s tenants want to evict landlord

Reminds me of Ted Baillieu's mother in laws sign on her front fence Vote Labour. that's democracy. Bolt's jumping for joy like Rumpelstiltskin that ugly little dwarf who wanted to steal a baby to eat. No it reminds me of someone even worse Tim Bevis Blair. It's his sort of blog.

Demanding the homes they refuse to accept

Bolt is calling our Lord Mayor an activist speaking out on behalf of the homeless.

Doyle

Melbourne's homeless people need support, Lord Mayor says, after ...

Herald -Sun

Melbourne beggars posing as homeless brag about how much they ...

The event has been distorted and and the issue of the "homeless" lost in the race to sell papers by sensationalism distortion and yet again misinformation. Clock Work Orange and the bovver press will always kick the shit out of the weak.

On Turnbull’s strategy to take Liberals for granted

"In fact, you could almost say Turnbull’s Liberals in some respects are campaigning against their base."Bolt

Isn't it amazing how Bolt can take what is normal practice in politics and present it as absolutely something new. Mark Textor the hero of Tony Abbott's electioneering tactics has been turned into a traitor for telling the party not to put their campaign efforts into Warringah where Abbott has 60% of the vote covered and put their efforts into the marginal seats, that's Bolt logic.

It's exactly why Miranda Devine called him a Delcon preferring to lose not for principle sake but the team and in this case a very divided team. "- Turnbull is starting to open the door to the rise of a new conservative party that could be to the Liberals what the Greens are to Labor." Oh no the return of the threat made after Abbot was chucked the threat that even Bolt said he could start and have a following at the snap of his fingers. The threat that went nowhere but the road to perdition to divide the Liberal Party and ensure it loses out of little more than revenge. Put the word Delcons in front of where Bolt has written Liberals
and think of the advice John Stone gave Delcons on how to vote.

- Liberals frustrated at being taken for granted are refusing to help some marginal seat MPs they accuse of being disloyal - notably Peter Hendy in Eden Monaro and Fiona Scott in Lindsay.
- Liberals are more likely to give their first preferences in the Senate to minor parties they think better reflect their core values, making the Liberals less likely to control the Senate.
- Liberals are more likely to vote for Labor if given a good reason to do so - one involving self interest in particular. (The Liberals’ super grab is one, and Labor announcing a better Budget bottom line, if it chooses to do so, may be another).
- Liberal disunity could hobble the campaign.
- The extremely weak mandate for change being asked for by Turnbull could make his post-election government look infuriatingly weak to his supporters, raising the risk of more internal instability.

" Things like this really stick in the craw of more traditional Liberal supporters, and many are just itching for the opportunity and excuse to lash out. They are sick of being taken for granted." Bolt and Tony Abbott said he was behind Turnbull....he is.

Liberals revolt on super, minor parties clean up

" One effect of this revolt - which includes Liberal donors - is that Malcolm Turnbull’s promised deficit in 2018-2019 of $6 billion will be doubled."

How confusing is Andrew Bolt's Dutch English that the Liberal revolt and the deficit which includes Liberal donars will cause the deficit to be doubled. Is bolt calling for something to be done about these donars? I'd certainly argue that News Corp is an undeclared financial donar to the Liberal cause. One that produces distortion, deflection and misinformation that helps destroy the chance of a true democratic election in this country. If we were Germany where the boards of companies members were required to be 50% workers may be our economy would look as strong and as viable as the German one where workers get paid for a 40 hour week for working 36 hours. An economy where there is a genuine middle class that doesn't need to work a second job in order to make ends meet. An economy that doesn't feel it's in the throws of a class war. No Bolt what we have going here isn't the best of all possible worlds. In some places workers and bosses work together to improve production and share the decision making.'Where to Invade Next' Movie Review | Rolling Stone

Not to be missed watch the movie Where to Invade Next: What Bolt's blinkered mind fails to see

Bolt the man who thrives on exceptionalism to feed his bigotry and racism and not the general rule of thumb. Yet he cries foul and bias when the ABC reports on the arson of a a Mosque for what exceptionalism. Bolt will let it be known that a rape in the Orkney Isles was committed by a Muslim rather than reporting the regular random violence in King st Melbourne among good old drunk Australians. He calls the Melbourne police liars for declaring the Apex gang to be a multiracial gang of kids from Dandenong rather than ethnic specific group Bolt makes them out to be. However praises them here for declaring the burning of a Mosque wasn't necessarily an action directed at Islam. However he returns to exceptionalism that the burning of a Mosque was really an attack on Christianity not satisfied with the vandalism of a church. Anything concocted to slag off the ABC

Column - Our dangerous war on Christianity

" These attacks are part of a disturbing pattern. Everywhere Christians are being harassed out of the public space."

Bolt's ethnocentric attitude to what he declares the right of public space to be. is the the right of dominance of Christian Culture. The right to be top dog in an environment where Christianity is fast losing ground to people who no longer believe. Except for evangelistic churches like Hillsong Christianity and church attendance is fast losing ground in Australia to other faiths. If our census questions were arranged in such away that didn't promote Christianity in the first place then the % shown to be Christian would be far less.

Bolt assumes as an agnostic he's still far better off living in a predominantly Christian culture believer or not. He's not a woman for one. Abortion in Tunisia an Islamic country has been legal since 1973 and with it comes free women's health clinics. It's written into the Tunisian constitution that women have equal rights to men and are paid equally. Furthermore ones sexuality is a private matter in Tunisia.

Well how often have we heard Andrew Bolt banging on about the benefits of Christianity over Islam with certainty and the knowledge that we are all better off well it seems the women of Tunisia are better off than the women of Australia Mr Bolt. These constitutional guarantees for women were passed by the way under a fundamentalist Islamic government.

Yes ignorance is very dangerous particularly in the hands of an ethnocentric broadcaster like Andrew Bolt Islam is the fastest growing religion in Australia and not just because of migration.

Ayaan Hirsi and Ali and Bolt don't know that Tunisia exists.
